About this hotel
General information
Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel curves around Romazzino Bay on the Costa Smeralda in north-eastern Sardinia, set between an emerald shoreline and flowering gardens. Founded by the Aga Khan IV, it opened in the 1960s and soon became a byword for Italian jet-set glamour; Michele Busiri Vici’s architecture of whitewashed stucco and soft curves still defines it today.
The hotel is managed by Belmond, part of the LVMH group. There are 94 rooms and suites, two Signature Suites and six villas with their own pools, together with a private sandy beach facing the La Maddalena archipelago, a seawater and a freshwater pool, Rosemary Spa, an open-air gym, a Pilates and yoga studio, tennis and padel courts and a children’s club. Intimate weddings and blessings, honeymoons and family celebrations are arranged, and there are dedicated spaces for private events.
Location
The hotel sits on Romazzino Bay near Porto Cervo, in the municipality of Arzachena. Olbia Costa Smeralda airport is about 31 km away, roughly 40 minutes by car; Porto Cervo is a 15-minute drive and Alghero airport about two hours. Given the secluded setting, a car or driver is useful for exploring nearby villages and beach clubs.
Spa
Rosemary Spa takes its cue from the Costa Smeralda landscape: four treatment rooms and a couples’ room, a rosemary-infused sauna and steam room, a relaxation lounge and Valmont products. The menu runs from signature massages to facials and body treatments, and the Pilates and yoga studio is fitted with Reformers and a yoga wall.
